How to install the Reader for PC in Windows 8 Operating System?

NOTE: The Reader for PC software is only compatible with the Windows 8 Desktop.

There are two versions of Internet Explorer in Windows 8. There is a full-featured, robust version of Internet Explorer 10 which runs from the desktop and an Internet Explorer 10 applet optimized for touch-based devices and designed for the New User Interface (Tiles).

Add-ons and plug-ins (like Flash and Silverlight) are only supported by the desktop version of Internet Explorer. If a website is not functioning, try loading the page using the desktop.

As the Reader for PC software is only compatible with the Windows 8 desktop, it is NOT compatible with Windows RT. Windows RT (while similar in appearance to Windows 8) is a different operating system designed for tablets and light, touch-based PCs.
